what's wrong with my vest

Chapter 43 Chapter 43

Although the time is limited, Fukuji Sakurachi still did not attack Sakurai in broad daylight, so it was already a bit late after Sakurai escaped, and the temperature dropped. There is still wind today, so the body temperature may have to be lower. lower.

In this environment, Sakurai Kazuo curled up in a lump, nestled in place motionless.

The injury to the abdomen did not improve... It is not so easy to stop bleeding from penetrating injuries, and the numb sense of touch made Sakurai unable to judge whether he had injured his internal organs.

But now he doesn't care about this anymore, as if he gave up, he even let go of the hand that pressed the wound, and the blood drained faster.

The warm blood soaked Sakurai's shirt, clinging to his thin body, bringing him instant warmth.But then this short-lived heat was quickly taken away by the ruthless cold wind, and Sakurai's body temperature also continued to drop during this cycle.

Sakurai didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

Now, anyone who still has a little bit of desire to survive should ask someone for help—whether it will be successful or not is another matter, but at least there must be such an act, instead of nesting in a cold, uninhabited alley and waiting to fend for itself.

But Sakurai no longer has the self-defense mechanism of "self-help".

As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames. The people DOLL refers to are indeed like living "dolls". When there is no order, let alone the desire to survive, they can't even take action.

Because they have no self-awareness.

They are like puppets in a shop window, unable to act without orders.

DOLLs are generally unable to live normally unless they are instilled with a programmed personality to maintain a minimum level of life.

As for the isolated and helpless Sakurai, no one in this world can help him complete this crucial step... At least no one can complete this step before he leaves this world.

In the chaos, Sakurai suddenly remembered the time when he was first born.

Just like electronic products such as computers and mobile phones will not run on their own without human instructions, Sakurai will simply stay in the main god space when there is no task-that is not even called a daze, because there is no When the instructions need to be executed, he can't even function his mind, it's a bit like a standby state if he insists.

Later, as more and more hosts were brought in, although Sakurai was cold, the hosts who were suddenly pulled to do the task would have a period of uneasiness at the beginning, so when seeking a sense of security, the hosts often Talk to Sakurai Haruka.

For a long time, no one could get any feedback from Sakurai, but later, although Sakurai still said very little, he would occasionally reply to the host who would chat with him when he had nothing to do.

The name "Sakurai Satoshi" was chosen by a certain host after he found out that Sakurai Satoshi only had a code but no name during a conversation.

In other words, becoming a DOLL may not necessarily lead to a turning point, but it takes time to accumulate, so once again, this has nothing to do with Sakurai, or "contractor chaos".

The current task progress has reached 95%, which is a number that is not surprising to leave the world at any time. At this stage, to a certain extent, Sakurai can be directly equated with "Contractor Ranpo".

Sakurai knew that he would not be able to hold on anymore, maybe he would die in this deserted alley before he could complete the task in time.

At this time, he no longer cares about the completion of the task... It's just that after experiencing so much, Sakurai feels sorry for "Edogawa Ranpo" from the bottom of his heart.

Before losing consciousness, Sakurai faintly heard the sound of approaching footsteps coming from his ears.

……

Before "Edogawa Ranpo" left, except for Osamu Dazai, who had a deep understanding of human nature, and Yukichi Fukuzawa, who watched Hajime Sakurai leave, everyone else looked unacceptable.

Most people in the Armed Detective Agency couldn't understand this... It was obvious that everything was getting better yesterday, why things seemed to be back to the beginning after one night.

"He has his own mission." In the panic, Fukuzawa Yukichi's calm voice came.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's words made everyone in the Armed Detective Agency calm down for a short time, but the following new discoveries quickly broke this false peace.

"Is this also what he needs for his mission?" Edogawa Ranpo pointed to the news being broadcast on TV.

The infection of Fukuji Sakurachi and Maruyama's younger brother was exposed immediately. The accuracy and details of the content make one wonder if the murderer himself leaked his criminal plan to the media.

During Edogawa Ranpo's questioning, Fukuzawa Yukichi stared at the TV, thinking silently.

First of all, "Edogawa Ranpo" did not admit that he had been in contact with Maruyama Ryosuke (the real name of Maruyama's younger brother) before. Based on Fukuzawa Yukichi's understanding of "Edogawa Ranpo", the other party did not Not the type to kill one's own employer.

Not to mention killing, judging from the feeling the other party gave Fukuzawa Yukichi when they met the last time, and the speculation about a Maruyama Ryosuke who could kill to avenge his sister, "Edogawa Ranpo" may even be None of them forced the other party, so the possibility that the whole plan is aimed at Ryosuke Maruyama and the group behind him is extremely low.

Then the opponent's target can basically be locked on Fukuchi Sakurachi...

Fukuchi Sakurachi is an old friend of Fukuzawa Yukichi. They have known each other for a long time. Fukuzawa Yukichi believes that he still has a certain understanding of the other party's character. I won't be suspicious of the other party, but in this situation...

Edogawa Ranpo did not disturb Fukuzawa Yukichi's thinking, stared at him twice, and then turned his gaze back to the TV. Although he already knew that his reasoning was not a supernatural ability, he still habitually took out Putting on the old black-rimmed glasses, he quietly waited for Fukuzawa Yukichi to come to a conclusion while thinking.

The blue light from the TV was reflected on the lenses of Edogawa Ranpo's glasses, and for a while no one could see the other party's expression clearly.

After a short thought, Fukuzawa Yukichi had to admit that he believed in "Edogawa Ranpo" more than the old friend he had known for many years.

Seeing this, Edogawa Ranpo nodded in satisfaction, and shared his reasoning with everyone.

I have to say that Edogawa Ranpo's title of No.1 detective in the world is not in vain. With limited information, he made a wild guess about Sakurai's plan and even Fukuji Sakurachi's plan. .

Of course, there are still some discrepancies in the details, and the information of some nodes has not appeared, so this reasoning is rare and cannot be considered comprehensive.

But the most critical information has already been obtained.

Among them, the speculation about "Fukuchi Sakurachi's goal is probably to rule the world." Fukuzawa Yukichi and others frowned.

If Fukuji Sakurachi's ambition is so great, it will be even more difficult to stop the other party. I can't imagine what "Edogawa Ranpo" has gone through before, and how much it has paid to avoid this ending now .

After a long silence, Fukuzawa Yukichi spoke slowly.

"The other side has its mission," he repeated, "and we have ours."

……

After successfully getting a page of the "book", Fukuzawa Yukichi subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the sky the moment he stepped out of the door of the Supernatural Special Affairs Division.

Then he saw what seemed to be a flash in the air.

Fukuzawa Yukichi stopped advancing in an instant.

After an afternoon of chatting, it was already dark at this time... Although it has not yet reached the level of night, the sun has completely set, and there are not many people on the street, only one or two migrant workers in suits are still rushing to complete the work. on the way to the task.

Fukuzawa Yukichi ignored Kunikida Doppo's confused question behind him, stared at the star that had just flashed, and remembered what "Edogawa Ranpo" said to himself before leaving - every "contractor" has A star corresponding to itself, when using the ability, the star belonging to the "contractor" will produce a spectral response.

At that time, "Edogawa Ranpo" told Fukuzawa Yukichi that he didn't know whether he would have a star of his own in this world.Fukuzawa Yukichi could see that the other party was not lying, so he simply kept it in his heart, and did not take any other actions other than subconsciously looking at the sky when he was free during these two days.

Fukuzawa Yukichi hadn't gained anything in the previous few times, but today, he saw a star twinkle in the sky.

An anxiety rose from the bottom of Fukuzawa Yukichi's heart. This feeling was menacing, so severe that it would almost affect Fukuzawa Yukichi's judgment.

Knowing that his current situation is not right, he took a deep breath to calm down, and then took out the "book" page he just got in his arms, and stared at the sky in full during the process, afraid that there would be a meteor in the next second across the sky.

If that star really belongs to "Edogawa Ranpo", then the other party's current situation must be bad.

"Edogawa Ranpo" can no longer use supernatural powers—this is a fact recognized by Akiko Yosano and all members of the detective agency. The other party also admitted that they have reached their limit and will no longer use their abilities.

So if the other party does something contrary to what he said and uses his ability again, he must be cornered and he has no choice but to do so.

There is no other change in the star, as if everything just now was an illusion, Fukuzawa Yukichi inexplicably believed that this star belonged to "Edogawa Ranpo", and was not sure whether the other party was out of danger for a while. It is still a failure to resist, and has lost the ability to resist and even self-awareness.

Prepared for the worst, Fukuzawa Yukichi asked Kunikida Doppo who was on the side for the pen that the other party used to write notes, and wrote something on the pages of the hard-won precious "book".

Kunikida Doppo instantly realized the seriousness of the matter, stepped forward from a little behind Fukuzawa Yukichi, and looked at the opponent's pen.

……

On the other side, not long after.

When people wake up, there will be a moment of unconsciousness. When Sakurai opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling. He just stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling with a very high ceiling, without asking or trying to move. Not even breathing changed.

If their eyes were not open, almost no one would notice that Sakurai was still awake.

"Rintaro, he's awake!"

There was a clear and crisp child's voice, followed by the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor, and then a figure in a white coat appeared at the edge of Sakurai's sight.

"How do you feel now?"

A black-haired man who looked a bit unkempt asked softly while holding a stack of medical checklists. When he found that Sakurai had no response, he scratched his head in frustration, then put the checklist in his hand again, and pulled The chair sat beside Sakurai's bed.

Now Sakurai can no longer see each other.

"Aren't you willing to communicate...then let's change the topic." There was a bit of distress in the voice, but judging from what the other party was going to say next, it should be pretending.

"The Armed Detective Agency sold you to the port of Mafia." Sakurai heard the man say so.

"Please give me more advice in the future, I am your new boss Mori Ogai."

The author has something to say:

……

Damn, I made a lot of typos in order to catch up with 9 o'clock, and changed the part I saw ()
